Orange Cranberry Cookies

I call these "don't break my heart" Orange Cranberry Cookies mostly because they are cookies baked in the shape of a heart and it's just cute to add a little spin on a cookie name.  These Orange Cranberry cookies make a great cookie to add to your Christmas Cookie collection or to make throughout the year even Valentine's Day!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside. Add butter, orange zest and sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat ingredients until smooth. About 3 minutes.
  • In another mixing bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder together. Combine well using a whisk. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture a little at a time alternating with the eggs. Continue to alternate between the flour mixture and eggs .
  • Add the juice crystals and continue alternating between adding the flour and eggs. Add more juice crystals if needed. Add the cranberries and finish mixing until the mixture resembles a dough. If needed you can remove from stand mixer and finish combining ingredients manually on the counter.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Roll out dough into sheets ¼ inch thick and using a cookie cutter, preferably hearts ( 😊 ), cut out hearts and place them on the cookie sheet carefully. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Store in air-tight container or freeze.
